Carmelo Lisón Tolosana (1929-2020)
Prof. Lisón-Tolosana (1929-2020) was a Spanish social anthropologist trained in Oxford of great merit whose role in promoting his discipline in southern Europe was very noteworthy
My mother or father
How do humans, who are materially composed biological constructs, come to transcend - that is, to see themselves as present in - the world? This article sustains that, in order to understand transcendence in personhood, we have to see the latter as a product of dividual not individual participation, as initially proposed by Lévy-Bruhl and recently developed by a number of phenomenologically inspired cognitive scientists. This being the case, it b…
Social and Cultural Anthropology
The roots of anthropology, as the scientific examination of the human condition, are truly ancient, but its emergence as a separate discipline is associated with the globalization that accompanied the modern era. This entry begins by outlining the roots of modern anthropology and then moves to the end of the nineteenth century, when Darwinian influence led to the growth of academic anthropology. After that, it focuses on the development of ethnog…
Filiation as a crossroads in Bahia
Drawing on ethnographic material collected in Bahia (Brazil) between 2004 and 2011, this article presents an alternative account of the notion of 'filiation' that avoids the equivoques concerning this concept that are dominant within contemporary anthropological discourses on kinship. The story of a lay preacher whose faith responds to her lack of a father figure illuminates how the constitution of personhood is based on filiation as a triangulat…
The sin of cain
In this comment, the author reflects on where Europe has gone wrong in terms of becoming more inward looking. What might anthropologists do about it
The core of affects
This article is a study of personal naming using drawings made by secondary school students from two small towns in coastal Bahia (Brazil) of the persons who gave them their names. The article explores the relation between namer and named as one of continued identity created by imaginative processes of surrogation akin to pretend-play. In early ontogeny, the person is constituted through a series of mutualities of being that come to constitute a …

The truth of personal names
Portuguese-speakers, when asked about their personal names, often respond with a notion of the 'truth of' their names. Basing itself on ethnographic data collected by the author in Macao (southern China), Bahia (Brazil), and Portugal, the article interprets this notion of truth as a form of ontological weighing that postulates the unitariness of the person by reference to a subjection to a bureaucratic order and to a cultural and linguistic unive…

Anthropology’ challenged
This is an essay about the challenges that we face today concerning the public understanding of social anthropology
Galvão among the cannibals
Colonial domination was not a simple act of violence. Rather, it was written into the bodies and the hearts of the people—"white,” “black,” or whatever other combination might be held to exist. Using the example of the Portuguese African colonies in mid‐twentieth century, this paper aims at illuminating the emotional constitution of colonial power by exploring the uses of the trope cannibalism. In order to do that, recourse is taken to a reading …
